Pioneer DJM-850

    02.23.12 Posted inLifestyle

    Pioneer is about to release another version of its industry standard DJM series…the DJM 850.  I feel like the DJM 900 Nexus has yet to become widespread as most venues to my knowledge still carry a beat-up DJM 800.

    I’ve used the 900 Nexus once so far and although I probably won’t use all of its effects to their full potential, the look of it is sleek and the faders and knobs were ever so smooth.  Then again it might have been because the mixer was basically brand spankin new.  The major differences between it and the DJM 800 are the 2 new color FX and the X-Pad control which gives the beat FX a more instant type of control.

    Just checked out the official page for the DJM 850 and I’m not sure if the new features justify anyone with an 800 to upgrade.  Biggest upgrades include the Beat Color FX and built-in USB support for Traktor 2.  So unless you are a Traktor DJ or one that’s crazy about FX, the DJM 850 probably isn’t worth the $2000 investment.  I love Pioneer mixers but sometimes I wonder about these “upgrades”.

    Check it out for yourself if you’d like!

    Missed my X-Fade Sunday rotation (again).  Was planning to put together this mix Sunday afternoon but I spent Saturday at U of I and the rest is history.  Took me most of Sunday to recuperate which also caused me to miss the 2nd half of the Super Bowl!  Lol.

    Last week Charlieboy kicked off a 3 mix series with his “break-up” mix.  This week I put together a “baby-making” mix and next week Jason will end it with a 2nd installment of his signature Valentine’s Day mix, a proven hit last year.

    Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It’s a day to celebrate love, hope, and romance with our significant other. It’s the special day that we show them how much we care and love them.  BUT, how about those who just broke up with their significant other? OR how about those who lost trust and will have a challenge finding faith in love again?

    This mix goes out to anyone that has gone through any sort of break up with someone they care about.  Play this mix on Valentines day and I will be your Valentine through this mix.  Love ya all!

    Although Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate the joy of loving and being loved in returned, we must also remember those who have to endure the day with a broken heart and a fake smile.

    With that, I will ask “Will you be my Valentine?”
